Is it bad to eat slider foods? I'm 3 months out and still have egg drop soup for lunch with cottage cheese.

I am 3 months post op as well and I eat whatever I want. I have no restrictions regarding my diet accept my 30 grams of non vegetable carbs per day. I have eaten things like a cheeseburger from Mc'Ds and I have had pizza but I went for the thin crust. I haven't had a fill yet as my MD and I are happy with my weight loss thus far. Although these past 2 weeks I have been really struggling to stay within my carb limit so I am thinking of getting a fill on my next appt 9/30

I think the reason I am sticking with the same thing day in and day out is for a couplel reasons.

1. I am SO fearful to eat anything else for fear I will gain my weight back.

2. It is satisfying me and I'm losing weight, so I guess if it isn't broken then why fix it.

Does that make sense?

As long as it's working for you, your still losing, and your not starving 2 hours after lunch, then you should be good to go. If any of those things change, then it'll be time to rethink your lunch choice.

what are you eating for your other meals?

There are other low carb options that are fast and easy for luch like chicken or tuna salad, string cheese sticks, lunch meat / cheese rollups (I dip them in Mayo) Sugar Free Jello with Redi Whip

If your not getting hungry before dinner you should be good to go but if you are then you need to think of other things to eat.

That's my take on it as well. If you find you're eating slider foods because you're too tight for solid food, then your band is too tight. But, if you're nutritional needs are being met through out the day with your other meals, you're losing weight, and you're not hungry soon after lunch then it sounds like it's working for you.

I eat the same thing for breakfast 99% of the time - 1/2 cup dry Khashi Go Lean cereal (high fiber/high protein). I try to vary my other meals, but sometimes I know I get into a rut.
